RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

A number of frightful railway
accidents are reported from America.
None of them, however, display any
particularly new features, and it is
becoming more and more generally
established that the dangers faced
by railway travellers are always
much the same. The worst accident
that on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway, where the Chicago express
overlook a freight train unawares,
and wrecked itself before its way
could be stopped-repeats many of
the appalling features of the we'll
known accident ut Abergele, in
North Wales. In the most recent
case the goods train ought to have
been shunted. In both there was
steep gradient which affected the
goods train, and in both q number
of victims were burnt alive by the
devouring flames that soon enveloped
portion of the train. In the other
recent American accidents, although
the loss of life was small, death was
also caused by conhagration, the
most terrible end that can well be
conceived. How far these disasters
were due to carelessness may never
be decisivcly settled, but it is to be
feared that railway traffic in the
United States is managed more reck-
lessly than in other parts of the
world. Accidents caused by the
Oyerhaullng of goods trains upon
the same track could never be posi-
BILE under strict employment of the
block system, such as is in force on
the best English lines. But Ameri-
can railway enterprise is not to be
checked, even at the risk of burning
passengers alive.-l Home News.

HOW TO GET RID OF A WIFE.

They do these things better in
Persia. No man thinks of murder
ing wife of whom he is tired, but
he sends her as gift to some
bachelor friend whom she has taught
to admire her and who is too cour-
teous to refuse. The Shah sets this
example, and by this means his be-
loved spouse of the time being is
young, handsome and loving and his
married life ia perpetual honey
moon. There is no sewing up in
sacks, no poison, no bowstring.
The favorite cabinet minister or
general is informed that he will be
favored with a wife from the royal
harem, and he smiles and accepts.
The Persians have always been re-
puted wise people and their wis
dom in the matrimonial line is sug-
gestive. IN. Y. Mercury.

Competition the Life Of Trade.
The United Carriage CO.

ID ESPECTFULLY SOLIClTS A
~ continuance OF the patronage of
those who occasionally require an ex.
press for SHOPPING, MAKING CALLS, &C.
&C. The manager also desires to state
that the Companys drivers have earned
reputation for CAREFUL DRIVING, CIVIL
ITY and STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE
LEGAL RATES of fare, thereby avoiding
the necessity TO use cards, showing the
the time they have been engaged and
the amount received for fares.
The protection which this Company
offers the public against overcharging,
incivility. CT needless driving, lies in
the fact that the majority of their driv-
ers have, 10y steady application and strict
attention TO business, become owners of
the teams they drive. Furthermore the
numerous calls for the COMpANY's CAR.
RIAoEs, demonstrate beyond doubt,
that SO far, satisfaction has been &c.
corded to the public. Parties who de-
sire to ride behind certain horse or
driver, can always snit their choice, as
the drivers are not in the habit of chang.
ing about from one stable to another.
Discretion in charging, is special
feature Of the Company's policy,

FREDERICK THE GREAT.

The Berlin Boursen Courier has
eXhumed this anecdotc of Frcde-
rick the Great:-One autumn day
he was reviewing the annual provin-
cial maneuvres, and, rs i'll luck
would have it, everything seemed TO
60 wrong. Finally one division of
the Hussars made such q bad blum
der that the King could no longer
control his wrath, but spurred his
horse, raised his cane in the air, and
galloped after the captain. The
latter, not being anxious to feel the
weight of the kings cane on his
shoulders, also spurred his horse,
and after long chase succeeded
in escaping. Next day the General
called on the King, and among other
things announced his regret that
Captain So-and-so had sent in his
resignation; he did not know why.

him something had happened which

the General added; she is one Of
our best officers" "Indeed," said
the King; "then tell him to come
to me during the parade" When
the King espied the captain at the
parade, he rode up to him and re-
marked, 81 have promoted you as

ROW GERMANY TREATS SPIES.

The Paris Mdtin gives its readers
the following information respecting
the treatment to which persons ar
rested as spies are subjected in Ger
many:-''Some five years ago
Belgian subject was arrested in Ger
many on suspicion of being spy in
the pay of the French Government.
No trustworthy evidence against
him was forthcoming, and the
charge was sustained merely by the
testimony of an entirely irresponsi.
bic individual. Nevertheless the
accused was condemned TO ten years
Imprisonment, after having already
suffered eight months confinement
on suspicion. He has since been to
all intents and purposes as one dead
to his family. 1t has only been
with the greatest difficulty that he
has succeeded in obtaining permits
sion from the authorities to write
few lines every quarter. In this
epistle, moreover, he is compelled,
under threats, to sing the praises of
the regime of which he is the inno-
cent victim. He has to herd with
thieves and assassins, and although
suffering from most painful physi-
cal illness, is on no account permit
ted to see physician. The Belgian
Government has, it is said, repeat
edly made efforts to obtain, if not
the release, at all events the better
treatment of this unhappy man, but
in vain" The writer of the article
maintains that numerous other in
stances of a similar kind could east
ly be quoted.

Selecting a Family Horse.

Among The good points to be noticed III

aud gentlentss must be kept well in front
II the women and children are to share in
the use and care OF the horse, nothing
vicious should be tolerated. II sound and
previously well cared for, horse eight
ten or even twelve years old, may be
bought with no fear of disability on &C
count Of old age. Mr. John Russell, who
receatly delivered series Of lectures 10
Boston, on The care OF he horse, said that
'Old wine, old friends, and old horses. +"
and by that meaning those from eight
to fourteen --''ehonld always be preferred
to young ones" The horse does not come
TO maturity as early as some think. as the
record OF tho trotting horse OF America
shows. A horse ten years old, that has no
defect OF body or limb, is practically safe
from the ordinary horse diseases. SO far
as outward appearance, color, etc, are
concerned, no general direction can be
given, but the buyer had better go to
some reliable dealer, stating what is de-
sired, and the amount Of money to be
given. An honest horse jockey, in some
peoples minds is an anomaly, but many
such may be found. American ATicm

You arc Right, Uncle Dick.

At farmers institute held in Clinton,
ILL.,, Governor Oglesby talked to the farm
ers in bis usual sensible fashion. Among
other good things he said the following.
"A man can be farmer and know a.
much as q preacher. We all know farm
ers' son ought to be educated just the same
as any one else's son. Tn on the verge OF
becoming a farmer. want to get where ]
can read books. farmer has more time
to read than any body else. The farmer
hasn't been doing himself justice. What
better right has any man for conveniencies
than farmer? Why cant he have a nice
clean bed? Why cant he have bath
room and clean linenS 20, We don't live
in town." You don't want TO live in town
to be comfortable. You don't need to
live 10 town to be intelligent. This cheap
street gossip and twaddle Of the town
ruins many farmers son. The best
lurymen come from the farm, the best
the best lawyers. the best
statesmen, the best thinkers, all come
from the farm. am waiting to try the
experiment.

themselves. Slr. BaiIv Mnchum lost

gold watch and .S37 in money. MIR.
Gains clothing were found outside
next morning on wood>pile, the
thief evidently carving them oul so
that he could quietly go through the
pockets. The Stats of Il wlndnw in
Esquire Jortau's residence were also
cut. hut the sash was locked and the
thief could not raise it. 1t il thought
he also tried tn enter Mrs. HallstrOm 3
residence, hut her fierce dogs kept
him away. They were very noisy
after some one about midnight. Our
people generally are now ready to give
warm reception to the next scoun-
drel that comes along, and he will not
have 50 easy time.
Since writing the above, we learn
thai Mr.. Mitchum has recovered his
clothing. 1t was found in a field at
the edge Of town by some negro chil>
dren. Two negro men, Sam Roland
aud F0m +-, were arrested
Thursday night. Roland had told Mr..
Mhchnm several times that day that
he knew who hsd the watches, aud
that he would get them. But he did
not do SO, aud his movements were so
suspicious, in connection with the 9th,
